This marks the beginning of an exciting new journey.”

Also, Director of Lucasfilm Franchise Management, Douglas Reilly spoke about the humor that only LEGO games have:

“LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens introduces fans to familiar and new Star Wars adventures packed with the charm and humor that LEGO games have become known for. Players will take an entertaining trip through the Star Wars galaxy, interact with the all-star cast and discover new story elements tied to the film.”

And finally, Vice President of Digital Games for The LEGO Group, Niels Jørgensen talked about how this game is a companion piece to the new film:

“Star Wars has a special place within The LEGO Group, and we are delighted to continue the journey with the franchise that started it all for LEGO videogames.
